Data Mining System and Applications: A Study

Data mining is the process of discovering and extracting of interesting patterns and knowledge from large amounts of data i.e., knowledge discovery from Data. The most common previous uses of data mining have been to help businesses to gain and maintain a competitive advantage as well as to answer questions, solve problems, or make informed decisions. Some of these industries that have been turning to data mining are engineering, medicine, education, marketing, and more. In this paper a review or survey of alternative uses of data mining in education, medicines, financial and engineering are described. The future of data mining will only grow and expand from where it is currently because more and more technological advances will be made to aid in the data mining process and the increasing need for finding more hidden information in large amounts of data.
